👍👍 Great place! super affordable. We are from out of state. We rented a Airbnb and needed a place to take our grands to swim. We loved the slides, lazy river, diving board, basketball hoop and a bonus of having a Jacuzzi. Loved the price for family swim..🏊‍♂️🏊‍♀️ People often mention kids, swim, Great, swimming, family,

    Great fun. Love going to family swim, not expensive. Family friendly and fun. Will definitely go again. My best friends and I love it there and when we want to go swimming we always choose here.

    Had my daughters 7th birthday here and they kept on giving us warnings non stop. Everything was a problem. There were 4 adults and 6 kids total and they told me we needed one adult per child. Was so disappointed. I was even told to get out of the hot tub. Never going here again. We use to have fun but since that experience. Never again.

    My family loves this pool! It is absolutely awesome for kids. However it is a typical government ran facility. The Swim center opens up early yet they won’t let me take my kid swimming in the KIDDIE pool because it is before 12pm. I understand having adult swim time, however, there are three different pools and I’m pretty sure they don’t have to use the kid pool.

    Great facility. Kids thought the water was on the cold side. As a parent that wasn’t swimming and just keeping an eye on my kids, I thought it was a bit ridiculous that I had to pay to be in the pool area just to make sure my kids were extra safe.

    (2020) A beautiful facility. Staff was extremely helpful & friendly. The lap swimming lanes were wide. The locker rooms were clean, in nice shape. To lock the locker required a quarter but the staff in the lobby pointed this out and offered to make change (very helpful!). I plan to be back! (2022) Visited again - all still true. I plan to come with my grandkids soon - the kids' play area looks Amazing.

    We took our granddaughter for her friend's birthday party and we all had a wonderful time. The life guards were awesome.

    I had to spend $30 to take my kids swimming for 2 hours. One of my kids is under 5 and can't even swim. He just plays in the edge of the water. It's just too expensive to go there on any kind of a regular basis if you have multiple kids. I don't understand why they would need to have such a high admission fee. I'm sure they would get far more business if it wasn't so expensive.

    Great place for the family. Besides the swimming, there are swim lessons offered and water exercise classes. There are many offerings for 'land" classes such as yoga, pilates, and total body conditioning. All staff are helpful and friendly.

    The Saturday morning swim teacher was very rude about the pool rules after swim lessons. There is a polite way to inform of rules.

    Can’t bring your own flotation devices and on top of that the life guards make you stay an arms length with your children…hard to enjoy a family outing there…would not recommend…..try Watiki if you are looking for fun and life guards that actually watch the children….

  • 4/5 Brandi M. 10 months ago on Google
    Very nice facility, but I was a little disappointed in how they sell their swim passes, just my daughter and I needed the pass, and in looking at their price sheet I thought it was going to be paying for my daughter and adding on an adult for myself… they don’t let you do that… you have to pay for an entire family pass… ended up spending $100 more than anticipated. A little frustrating, but we enjoy the pools so just had to deal with it.

    We go here to play racquetball. It is a nice facility and a great option if you are looking for something to do if you are bored in the winter.

    Would not allow arm floaties on the slide because they would 'ruin the paint', safety first seems like overrides paint I would say 😡

    Nice venue for a birthday party for a young child. They cut down on prep time by providing essentials like table cloth, party favors, soda, and ice cream. The zero entry portion is nice for the Littles. Also, the small play equipment is inclusive for smaller swimmers.

  • 5/5 Eric G. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place to bring kids. They have several life guards on duty and different areas for different aged kids. We went for a birthday party and it worked really nicely to just let the kids have fun for a while and burn some energy.

    Great place to swim laps. The roof is so beautiful I feel like I'm swimming in a large Japanese house when I do my back crawl. Huge hot tub and steam rooms are a plus. Just only wish there was a dry sauna (I can dream).
